Hi. I saw you on Raw Help. I have experienced the same things you have in my relationship with food. You are already making a great decision to be raw. I believe in you and wish you the best. Feel free to send me messages. I'm here for support. I am not perfect but I know that I am all about making progress on constant basis.
Oh my gosh I just about died when I read your favorite quote, "Do or do not, there is no try". About 5 years ago I bought this yoda doll that you ask questions to, I laughed so hard in the store that I had to buy it. It was the funniest thing, but one of the things he said was that quote. That's cool that you are living in Oregon too. I love Oregon..Take Care, Jen

You've got a great story. You go girl!! I'm trying to find the best raw diet i can in college. Some foods are just nasty to me now...
i like ur about me section that is really interesting and enlightening. i thought it was funny on my blog how u were like "i will procrastinate tomorrow" haha
Hey Cricket! :) Well, I'm afraid I was one of those people where raw vegan didn't clear up my skin. It really sucked. So I started seeing naturopath and she did some tests on me. Turns out my acne was/is mostly hormonal - my body produces too much of the wrong type of estrogen. Also, I was deficient in zinc and some b vitamins. Taking supplements for the nutrients I was deficient in (I use the New Chapter brand) and taking a hormone regulation supplement as recommended by my naturopath has helped. Also, she has me on a homeopathic remedy for hormone regulation, and once a month she doses me with this homeopathic remedy for acne. When all those things work together, my skin gets a lot better. I also tested celiac (gluten intolerant) and as allergic to tomatoes, bananas, corn, potatoes and oranges - those foods create an anti-histamine reaction in my liver and cause breakouts for me. Who knew acne could be so complicated eh?! ;) In the meantime, lots of water and lots of sleep help a lot. How are things for you?
Hello, there! Can't believe I found another Fates Warning fan! I purchased No Exit and Awaken the Guardian way back in the day and I never looked back :-)
Good to know you are on here. Best wishes (and I will tell my combat kitties you said "hello")
heya!! I would do homeschooling if i had some type of community niche where we could all get our kids together and do that somehow....back in new zealand (i visited for 4 months) they did that thing quite often.
see now im brainstorming with ideas! thanks!
but i cant do anything at the very moment as i am kinda in a transpositional phase of my life (looking where to attend grad school)
what do you do for vitamin b12?
yeah, San Francisco is like that. Today it is overcast, but Saturday (and the last two weeks) the weather was simply perfect :)
If you want to go to SF and be 100% you get the best weather, you must visit here during this time of the year. it is called here "Indian Summer".. it get really hot here. But as when you have foddy in SF, normally, if you cross any Bridge (Golden Gate or Bay Bridge) you will see the Sun. The foggy just get stuck here, but 20minutes out of the city, you see the Sun.
next year, don't miss Power to the Peaceful ;) It is the best free concert in SF (well we get others free concerts). Check it out. :)
The weather in San Francisco this time of the year amazing/gorgeous. Blue skys and warm temperature. last weekend we had my favorite event here in SF. It was Power to The Peaceful www.powertothepeaceful.org . I love SF :) How is Orgeon? :)

thanks for the comment on my pecan pie. super easy and super good. the crust i use is always a simple blend of nuts (this time almonds), a few dates ( i don't like my crust too wet or sweet), salt, vanilla and some coconut oil.
the inside is pecans, dates, salt, molasses and vanilla. blend the pecans till buttery and then add the other ingredients. i added about 2 tbs molasses. then ground pecans and whole pecans on top.
Thank you! Your family is also beautiful. I adore Oregon, especially the coast. I believe that photo of my dog digging in the sand is somewhere on the northern coast of Oregon. The two of us used to travel a lot.
AAh bless you! Love your pic too! Raw food is rescuing ma I love it and the people I meet are so kind too.. thanks for the comment am pleased to meet you!
Amen, Loren. So do you feel the same way about blending then? The whole fiber is still there with blending so not improving on nature as much as sort of 'pre-chewing', if you will
I'm planning to start enemas too (I think when my roommate will leave next month...). Of course it's unnatural, but we have eaten unnatural for years and years and I believe it can help a lot getting out the waste.
I just wanted to ask, what water...
I have a full size Excalibur that I never use. What an investment huh?
I just found I prefer my fruit n veggies simply prepared, I have little patience for the dehydrator. Ive seen the magical things people prepare with it though, so if you like m...
